    Nope, I wasn't even talking about Waitrose, I was talking about the agency.
    the question still stands - have you contacted Waitrose?

    If not then no one can help you.

    :huh::huh: How has this become difficult to deal with?! You got an email from an agency, that is unlikely to be related to JLP (JLP have their own internal personnel department and wouldn't bother using an agency).

    You applied for a job either via CV Library (like you said) or through Jobsite.com - both of which are useless. Unless you want your Jobseekers allowance search form to look pretty....
    Ideally you go DIRECTLY to an employer, unless you want to be a temp worker and use an agency to help find you temp work.

    You received an email via an agency, which is suggesting it's attached to JLP. JLP should be made aware this company is falsely representing them.
    If you really can't be arsed or afford to phone them. Go on their website and contact them via email. I've decided to do the leg work for you... http://www.jlpjobs.com/contact-us.htm
    When applying for jobs you have to be proactive 'well they haven't called me...' Is a lame excuse, if they haven't called you - call them to check on your application progress. It's not difficult and earns you kudos!
  • Yeah, why provocatively try to get a job.

    See that word I have highlighted in blue it should be "THEY" Correct spelling and grammAr is important in a job application.

    and spelling

    Punctuation and using the correct word for the context too.

    (Other errors already pointed out!)
    :D I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe :D
